If there was one thing I was expecting from this update, it was the merging of the 'Friends List' and Miiverse apps. Seeing what your friends are up to shouldn't require its own button. Not unless you're going to be able to sort out party chat or private messaging, which they haven't.

Another thing, has anyone tried using the Gamepad for any games that support the classic controller? Xenoblade on the Gamepad would be chuffing awesome!

Hahahahah just tried out Skyward Sword on the gamepad and it works awesomely. Game looks even better, obviously. Now I can keep playing this when everyone is hogging my plasma. Genius.

Some Pikmin 3 dlc on the shop along with one free mission I think.

Firmware has speeded things up a little, especially accessing friends from the Home menu.

Do you still use the wiimote + nunchuck? Just point it at the gamepad?

@SG59 Sure they do. I'd never have played virtual bowling if I had to use timed button presses. Wii Sports golf was great fun with motion control too. All that was lacking was a decent number of holes and courses. Mario Kart Wii was more intense with motion control, too. At least I thought so.

It doesn't add a lot to many kinds of game though. It's nice to have the option with some games, as long as they're well thought out.
